SOLID SOUTH. JOHN R MADDOX’ Editor - SATURDAY JUNK 5, 1886. John Kellv, Tammany Hall’s chief, died at his home in New York citv Tuesday evening at 4 o’clock. j —-1--- i The Constitution says General Gordon will be triumphantly elected. norni- : nated and overwhelmingly j —----- 7~ . , Politics like |K>'erty ma es o iang( j bed fellows. This fact is being very clearly exemplified in Georgia just j now. The republicans of Pickens county elected delegates, but they will hard¬ ly secure seats in a democratic con¬ vention. Out of the 9 counties that select¬ ed gubernatorial delegates Tuesday 7 were for Gordon and 2 for Bacon. Gordon got 16 delegates and Bacon 4. There was a rumor in^ Macon the other day that General Gordon was about to “come down.’’ It seems that he is “coming down” on Bacon like a thousand of brick whenever the people have a chance to speak. The prevalent excitement over the Gubernatorial campaign makes the outlook rather discouraging Tor the Congressional candidates. Who we shall send tc Congress, however, is not a less important matter than who shall he Governor. Whenever a disputant eondecends to vulgarizing or charges upon his competitor promiscuous lying, it in¬ dicates his cause is desperate and uncertain, and that he cares not how base the means be may use so that lie attains the object of his desire. The Holiness Ascociation has been in session at Griffin since Monday night There are some fifty or six¬ ty delegates in attendance. Five services are held daily, one of them being an open air service on every afternoon on Hill street at 3:30 o'clock. A greut deal of interest is manifested and there is no question but that much good is being accom¬ plished. The prohibition election in Spald ing county is red hot. Both sides are working night and day. The campaign has developed a number of orators and every night dozens of meetings throughout the county are addressed by zealous advocates of the pros and antis. The young men’s prohibition club numbers 160. The interest which many of the towns throughout the state are tak¬ ing in establishing parks within their limits is commendable. Notii ing contributes more to the pleasure of the |>eople of a town than attrac live park. Every town in the state ought to have a park, and no town will regret the money spent for one. A Fashion paper says “intense mourning” is voted vulgar in “re fined circles.” It is supposed that low in¬ in tense grief is also considered high toned circles. It is a wonder the members of “refined circles ’ don t make a move to banish death alto gether. as it is an old fashion in¬ dulged in by the very poorest and unrefined. The executive committee of Wal¬ ton county met Wednesday and de¬ cided to have a primary election on tiie 7t h of July, the voters to vote di¬ rectly for the"candidates for govern or, and the candidate receiving the largest number of votes will get the vote of the county. The primary is to be held on the same day of the fence election. There will be 1,200 votes cast in the primary. At Rome Friday night a collection was taken up in the Methodist church, and Dr. Kendall placed and the amount collected or. the pulpit left the church, forgetting to take the money with him. Saturday morning the money was gone. Tom Cooper, a young negro who swept the church was arrested on suspi¬ cion, and finally admitted that he had taken the 'money. Twelve dol lars and sixty cents was found on bis person. A Ninth Georgia regiment soldier writes from Cbeevertown, Baker county, thus: We know that Major Bacon resigned his place as adju¬ tant of the Ninth Georgia, for we were there, and his health was bet ter at that time than a good many Gen¬ privates that could not resign. eral Gordon was among the last to leave us, and so we will be the last to leave him at the polls. Give us primary elections and Gordon will be as he was in Lee's arm}'—ahead. Tuesday was a Waterloo for Ma¬ jor Bacon and a grand victory for General Gordon. A number of counties that were thought to have been fixed for Bacon and were hast¬ ened up to hold mass meetings show¬ ed the strength of Gordon. Seven counties elected Gordon delegates— Dooly. Forsyth, Polk, Gordon, Car roll, Lumpkin and Murray, and two counties went for Bacon—Catoosa and Columbia—while Haralson showed up Gordon men two to one and the mass meeting was reconsid¬ ered and a primary called. THELOCAIPAPEE. What tellsso readily the standard of a town or city as the appearance of its newspaper? The enterprise of its citizens is depicted by its ad vertisements, their liberality by the looks of the people. Some papers show a good, solid, healthy founda tion, plethoric purses, and a well to do appearance generally; others s | Ion - a striving to contend with the grasping multitudes around them, ( r yj n g to wrench out an existence from the close fisted community aroun( j them. An occasional tnete oric display in its columns shows what i< could do if it had the means but it cannot continue its expensive work unless supixtrt 1 1 comes which gilt . , be readily granted. A . Dll to newspaper is like a church, it wants fostering; then it can reflect credit on its location. Take your home paper It gives you more .home news of immediate interest tlian anj other papers; it stands up for your riirhts; n you always have a conipan- .! ■ . ion in your home . paper, and , those who stand up for you should certain j^. ^ we j| sustained, Your interest are B m dred !(D d equal, and must rise or fal j together, Hon. P. L, Mynstt. as a member of the Georgia house of representa¬ tives in 1879, introduced the bill to prevent railroads from pooling their earnings. The one-armed veteran, George N. Lester, will make a notable figure on the Gordon side of July’s convention. A mortgage on one of the colored churches at Blakely had to he re moved, and the members had bound themselves under a promise to pay it. The pastor saw it was going to be a hard matter to raise the money, so he told the members if they did not bring up the amount needed he would turn them out of the church for lying. The next Sunday, wc un derstand, the money was raised— the women carrying $1 and the men $1 50. A lawyer attended prayer meeting, and being called on to lead in prayer, delivered himself thusly, says an ex¬ change: “Know all men by these presents that we, as devoted and humble petitioners, would offer up our feeble petition to the throne grace, expressing our heartfelt thanks to the Most High for all the blessings of life, towit: Life, health, strength, food and raiment. And we would implore the Supreme Ruler to continue these blessings as afore said. Purgo us from all former sins and transgressions, and afford us that relief which may in your judg¬ ment seems proper in the premises. Give us a clear title that to celestial reality beyond the river, a title clear from all incumbrance, and your pe¬ titioners will ever pray. A men A Dakota Judge, in the course of his charge to the jury recently, touched on an important point. Ho said: “Although the prosecution has established the fact that the do fendant’s father was once a member of the Legislature, this should have no influence with you in bringing in your verdict. The unfortunate af¬ fair in the lifte of his father might, of course, make us look with suspi cion on the family, but at the same time it really proves nothing against deeply the defendant, as he may as deplore the conduct of his paternal relative as any of us.” The Commissioner of Agriculture, Judge Henderson, in a short corner tion, says the increase this year in planting shows that the acreage of corn is greater than last year, and the stand, although a little backward, is now getting along finely, owing to the recent rains that have fallen in many portions of the State. Judge Henderson will, at an early day, visit the farms of about fifteen planters who are paying attention to the cul tivation of tobacco on a large scale, for the purpose of seeing how they are getting along. A Western firm guarantees a wife to every man who purchases of them a suit of clothes. What this couu try needs is somebody to guarantee who a suit of clothes to every man gets a wife. At the residence of Senator Col¬ quitt, at 8 o’clock, Wednesday night, Miss Lizzie, his eldest dangh ter, was married to Captain W. S. Marshall, of the United States Corps of Engineers, Gen. C. A. Evans otli dating. A large crowd were pres¬ ent, friends of the bride and a num¬ ber of the friends of the groom. The latter is a decendent of Chief Jus¬ tice Marshall. The couple left At¬ lanta Thursday night on the Wes tern and Atlantic railroad for Ken tuck}-, to visit relatives; thence j they go to Milwaukee. John Most, the New York anarch¬ ist, has been sentenced to the peni¬ tentiary for one year and fined #500. His associate Braunschin, got nine months in the penitentiary and was fined $250. Schench whs sent to the penitentiary for nine months, but not fined. We do not see why people should be surprised at ladies’ corsets being tight—they are always on a bust.
